Because MediBeads Wraps are ready for use in just a minute and are applied directly to the site of pain, relief begins immediately. The wraps continue to deliver therapeutic moist heat for up to thirty minutes. This is the medically recommended treatment time for heat therapy within a three to four hour period.

Through a patient pending process, the OrthoBeads in MediBeads continuously recharge by absorbing only water molecules from the air. Adding water is not necessary. The absorbed water is held, purified and released as "clean moist heat" when the MediBeads Wrap is microwaved. The result is a bacteria and odor-free wrap. Unlike other grain and pellet products, MediBeads need no special covers, they will not dry out, dissolve or disintegrate.MediBeads Wraps are washable, so no special covers are required.
